abstract

carbon nanotubes (cnts) are a novel material that exhibits good adsorption behavior toward various toxic pollutants in aqueous solution. these adsorbents have a fast adsorption rate and high adsorption efficiency, efficient to remove various pollutants and they are easy to recover and reuse. these features highlight the suitability of cnts for the treatment of water polluted with heavy metal ions and dyes. this review outlines the preparation of cnts as well as different methods of surface modification of these materials by non-covalent and covalent functionalization strategies. additionally, an overview of recent developments and applications of cnts for heavy metal ions and dyes pollutant removal is discussed in detail. based on current research and existing materials, some new and futuristic approaches in this fascinating area are also discussed. the main objective of this review is to provide up-to-date information about the most important features of cnts and to show their advantages as adsorbents in the treatment of polluted aqueous solutions.

Application of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes in the Removal of Reactive Red 120 from Aqueous Solutions

Background and purpose: Textile effluents are very difficult to treat satisfactorily due to high variations in their compositions. Strong color is one of the main characteristics of textile effluent and, if not eliminated, it can cause serious problems to the environment. In the present study, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as an adsorbent for the removal of Reactive Red-120 (...

New Nano-Adsorbents for the Removal of Chromium (III) and Mercury (II) from Aqueous Solutions

Polyvinyl alcohol/ glycerin- magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PVAGLPs) have been synthesized successfully by hydrothermal method. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The adsorbed activities of the polyvinyl alcohol/ glycerin- magnetic iron oxide nano particles (PVAGLPs) were ca...

A Comparative Study for the Removal of Methylene Blue Dye from Aqueous Solution by Novel Activated Carbon Based Adsorbents

This study was conducted to assess the ability of the studied adsorbent, i.e. raw oak fruit hulls and the activated carbon prepared from oak fruit hull for removing the Methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution. This study was conducted under various effective parameters, e.g., contact time, pH, MB concentration, adsorbent concentration. The optimum amount of each parameter was determined a...
